The PGA Tour heads to Texas, as Scottie Scheffler and Wyndham Clark headline the sector for this week’s Texas Kids’s Houston Open.
Since 2020, this event has been held at Memorial Park Golf Course, a municipal course revitalized by Tom Doak in 2019. Brooks Koepka even served as an advisor throughout the renovation.

Houston residents can play Memorial Park for as little as $30 on weekdays, whereas out-of-towners should fork over $120—not a nasty worth contemplating a few of the greatest gamers on the planet play there yearly.
New this yr is the event’s spot on the calendar. When defending champion Tony Finau received at Memorial Park, he did so within the fall of 2022. However because the WGC-Dell Expertise Match Play was faraway from the PGA Tour schedule this yr, a gap popped up, and the Texas Kids’s Open stuffed that void two weeks earlier than The Masters.
Humorous sufficient, earlier than 2019, when this occasion moved to the autumn, the Houston Open was performed the week earlier than the most effective gamers headed to Augusta Nationwide. Whoever received this occasion sometimes obtained the ultimate invitation into The Masters.
Now it’s again within the spring, and the winner, if not already exempt, will obtain an invitation to Augusta.
